Pushing the Envelope: 6 Unconventional Chronograph Watches
A growing number of chronographs have push-pieces in unorthodox places. In this WatchTalk article we explore several of them, including a modern-day take on a vintage Omega watch and a Bovet timepiece that can shift from wristwatch to pocketwatch to table clock with the push of a button.Omega has introduced an updated version of its 1969 Bullhead watch, named for its asymmetric case with chrono buttons on top, which bears a (perhaps mild) resemblance to a bull's head. The new Seamaster Bullhead Chronograph looks much like its ancestor, but behind the dial there's something different: a co-axial automatic Caliber 3113, with a column-wheel chronograph mechanism. The new Bullhead trades the original's rounded push-pieces for flat ones. The watch also has an internal rotating bezel, which can be controlled by the second crown, found at 6 o'clock. The bezel has a 24-hour scale on it, with alternating blue and black backgrounds for day and night. The watch is being released in a limited edit

AP v. Hublot
I am looking for some advice (although I already think I know the answer). I purchased a new AP and I want to sell another watch from my collection to fund it. I am deciding between selling an AP Rubberclad, Stainless Steel, Black Dial (H Series -- the last dial) and a Hublot All Black Ferrari. Any advice is appreciated.

Is possible to polish the sunburst case of a mark 2?

Rolex's Motivation
Most know that Rolex SA is owned by the private Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, which is registered as a charity and does not pay corporate income taxes. The foundation is a trust which will survive in perpetuity and will continue to be funded as long as Rolex is making a profit. (Side question: could the trust ever decide to sell Rolex?)All profits go into the trust and no person benefits from the profits (other than salaries paid). Rolex does some charitable work but from what I've read it isn't a large part of their existence. So, is Rolex motivated to maximize profits, like most other companies? If the Foundation wants to last in perpetuity (at least in a capacity in which it can have money to spend as it chooses such as on charitable activities) then it needs Rolex to make profits to fund the Foundation. So it seems like profit maximization would still be the goal. Or is there something else that motivates Rolex which is why we are sometimes baffled by their decisions, e.g., why would
